Designed by architect Michael Graves in 1984, Napa Valley’s Clos Pegase Winery’s 20,000 square feet of caves are a monument to wine. Join us for a virtual tour, tasting and discussion as we discover a perfect wine and architecture pairing presented by Clos Pegase and Grand Reserve Rewards.
When the founders of Clos Pegase, Mr. and Mrs. Jan Shrem, decided to build a winery, they wanted it to be a world-class destination that would express their conviction that wine is an art form that should delight, illuminate, and surprise. After selecting a scenic site in the northern section of the Napa Valley, the Shrems sought out a visionary architect to design their dream winery. In association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, they came up with the concept for an architectural design competition with the project going to the winning design. This competition began in May 1984 with the participation of 96 design teams. The esteemed competition jury narrowed the field to five finalists, and then declared the winning design to be that of architect Michael Graves.
